Ironman verdict
4 monsters drop it. The easiest is Thug (level 11, 4/128); the best rate is Skeleton (level 15), at 6/128, about one every 21 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 80 Smithing XP, using 2 × Iron bar. Making ten takes 20 × Iron bar and gives 800 Smithing XP. Reaching level 10 Smithing takes 1,154 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Iron med helm: Iron med helm + 1. It is worn in the head slot at tier 10 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Head list. Iron med helm is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 150 coins, 66 more than the shop price, before the cost of the nature rune.
